DOCUMENTO/DATA DE INSTITUIÇÃO: escritura de casamento, dote e testamento (f. 15-19) celebrada em 1550-05-05, feita por Afonso Coelho a sua única filha Isabel Coelho e seu noivo Manuel Fernandes, filho de Diogo Fernandes, tabelião. Escritura redigida pelo tabelião Afonso Anes Fraguedo.
ENCARGOS (ANUAIS): dispõe o encargo de dez missas anuais, cinco por sua alma e outras cinco pela da mulher, no mosteiro de São Francisco. Porém, caso a filha morresse mais cedo, o marido ficaria com o encargo de quarenta missas anuais, por alma dos mesmos e da filha; e caso o genro falecesse antes da filha e esta não tivesse filhos, então a fazenda a Diogo Fernandes (pai do genro) e seus herdeiros, igualmente onerada com as quarenta missas. Durante largos anos, prestaram-se somente contas de 10 missas anuais, erro de contas que é assinalado no despacho do juiz do Resíduo de 1775-12-19 (f. 36), onde manda dar nova vista aos autos. Em 1776, o administrador Francisco Xavier de Ornelas e Vasconcelos, interpõe embargos alegando que há mais de um século só prestavam contas de dez missas anuais. A sentença do juiz dos Resíduos, emitida em 1783-08-22 (f. 54 v.º), determina que se tome a conta e notifique o administrador conforme requer o procurador do Juízo (ou seja, que a conta se faça em relação às quarenta missas e não às dez).
REDUÇÃO DE ENCARGOS: A sentença de redução, emitida em 1819-09-17 (f. 89 a 131), reduz as capelas administradas por D. Maria de Ornelas à pensão anual de 70.000 réis à Misericórdia do Funchal.

SUCESSÃO: na escritura privilegia-se a primogenitura de preferência masculina, não tendo os dotados um filho varão, herdaria uma filha, depois seus descendentes; não tendo descendência, nomeariam na pessoa de geração mais próxima, à sua escolha, sempre em macho.
BENS VINCULADOS: terça dos seus bens móveis e de raiz, fazendo-a "mistica com a de sua molher" (f. 16 v.º), que seria imposta num assentamento de casas defronte do Colégio e um serrado de canas. O testador recomenda que estes bens nunca se possam perder por nenhuma via. O dotado Manuel Fernandes e seu pai Diogo Fernandes tomam posse destes bens e de uma escrava em 1550-05-07 (fl. 20, v.º-21). Em 1724-01-17 (f. 28) procede-se ao sequestro de uma fazenda abaixo da Nazaré para pagamento das missas em atraso de trinta anos.
OUTROS VÍNCULOS: administra a terça da mulher Guiomar de Viana, que a deixara ao filho Pedro, entretanto falecido, com encargo de cinco missas anuais. O instituidor junta esta terça à dele.
ADMINISTRADORES: em 1645, D. Brites Mariz, viúva de Agostinho de Ornelas e Vasconcelos. De acordo com uma declaração do padre António Lopes Maciel, datada de 1645 (fl. 5), antes, estas casas haviam pertencido a D. Maria Correia, mulher de João de Bettencourt, que depois a vendeu, encontrandose esta capela “sonegada” e “sem papeis” há 16 anos. Uma declaração de Simião de Freitas Correia,
irmão de D. Maria Correia, (fl. 8) refere que sua irmã possuiu esta fazenda mas vendeu-a a Manuel Fernandes Rocha, mercador. Segue-se uma notificação a D. Brites Mariz (fl. 9 v.º), tendo esta afirmado que vive nas casas desta capela mas desconhecia a existência desta pensão.
